What types of Cells carry out cellular respiration?

cellular respiration occurs in all living cells. it is the process the cell uses to turn oxygen and glucose into energy. however autotrophes (plant cells) undergo a similar process called photosynthesis the plant can then turn carbon dioxide and water into energy, don't let that fool you though. plant cells still undergo cellular respiration as well.


What is the end product of photosynthesis?

The end product of photosynthesis is 2 G3P (PGAL) (per 1/2 glucose (1 turn of the Calvin Cycle)) which is then used to create glucose or starches. Oxygen is a waste product.


What are the products manufactured by photosynthesis needed by humans and other animals?

If by "need for survival" you mean energy or ATP, yes; the chloroplast in plant cells are able to turn the light energy from the sun into energy. Most people know that a plant cell usescarbon dioxide but many don't realize that it uses oxygen to to create energy over 66% more efficiently. Back to your original question though, the needs of human cells are very different than that of a plant and I quite possibly misunderstood your question but it was the best I could think of.


Chlorophyll helps plants make?

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plant cells. It absorbs sunlight, which is a key factor in Photosynthesis. This is the process where plants turn... Sun + Water + CO2 = Glucose + Oxygen With out this process, plants would not be able to produce their own food, and they would not get any energy. They would probably die.


What color are blood cells when they have on oxygen?

The red blood cells themselves do not take any action to get more oxygen, but the kidneys sense a lack of oxygen and produce more erythropoietin (hormone responsible for producing red blood cells) and this in turn increases oxygen levels

What is the process by which cells use oxygen to turn food into energy?

Respiration ---- * areobic respiration which requires oxygen * anaerobic doesn't require oxygen aerobic respiration needs glucose and oxygen. During anaerobic respiration the glucose is only partly broken down to form lactic acid and energy.


What process uses glucose and oxygen to make energy?

Mitochondria do, they create energy by doing what is basically reverse-photosynthesis, they take oxygen and glucose and turn it into energy and carbon dioxide, which is what plants need for photosynthesis.you should find out for yourself(x


What is a chloroplast work in a cell?

Chloroplasts in plant cells (not in animal cells) is where photosynthesis takes place. Light energy gets absorbed and combined with carbon dioxide turn into glucose and oxygen.


When you respire what gas is used to turn food into energy?

Cellular respiration is one of the ways a cell gains energy. Nutrients commonly used by animal and plant cells in respiration include glucose, amino acids and fatty acids plus an oxidising agent. Oxygen is used to turn food in to energy.


How do you put photosynthesis in a sentence.?

A plant uses the sun's energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.


What does unused sugar turn into in your body?

Unused Sugar/Energy (glucose) is stored in fat cells, which are burnt off when the energy within them is needed.


When you eat sugar what it turn into?

Generally, sugar is first broken down into glucose in the digestive system. Cells then use glucose to undergo cellular respiration, which converts glucose into carbon dioxide and energy.


How do your cells obtain glucose?

Plant cells gain glucose by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and then through the chemical reaction photosynthesis make the glucose. Animal cells gain glucose by taking in oxygen and sugars containing the glucose made by plants.


What does oxygen do in your body apart from breathing?

Your cells need oxygen to turn food into energy, reproduce, and basically perform all of their tasks.


How do organs use oxygen?

Organs are a collection of tissues, which are in turn a collection of cells. Cells produce ATP from glucose and this processes (glycolysis and then krebs' cycle) require O2 to help form CO2 to release energy from the carbon-carbon chain. Watch a video on how the kreb's cycle work and watch for the oxygen that is inserted in the system.


What part of the cell help make food?

The chloroplasts. they get energy from the sun, and combine it with Carbon dioxide, and water and turn them into glucose and oxygen as waste products6CO2 +6 H2O -(energy- sun)> C6H12O6 + 6O2(carbon dioxide) + (water) -(sunlight)> (glucose) + (oxygen)waste products


Does respiration increases the level of carbon dioxide and decreases the level of oxygen?

No, respiration means 'getting energy from food using oxygen.' it actually has nothing to do with breathing. its the process in which energy is taken from the food you eat and oxygen helps to turn it into glucose.
